german tv-show “aktenzeichen XY” (a show that tries to solve crimes by re-enacting and drawing attention to them) won’t broadcast a finished segment about the rape of a 21-year-old woman, because the suspect is black.
editor-in-chief Ina-Maria Reize-Wildemann (pic related) justified the decision with the current negative disposition of germans against refugees
since the person that local police had unsuccessfully tried to find with mugshots was black, reporting it “could increase prejudices against foreigners”
“we don’t want to spread a negative atmosphere, these people do not deserve that”, Reize-Wildemann is quoted
police spokesman Oliver Peiler reacted to the decision by saying “the dortmund (city where it happened) police do not have the authority or intent to manipulate the broadcast decision. since we only use public appeal as a last resort when cases could not get solved without public help, we are sad to acknowledge that a future solving of the crime seems unlikely.”
